I have a stupid question...

What's the difference between all-purpose and self-rising flour? I think self-rising flour has baking powder in it...??

If a recipe asks for all-purpose flour can I substitute it with self-rising? Should I not put in baking powder (cuz the recipe asks for baking powder). I only have all-purpose at home.

self-rising flour includes leveners, all-purpose is just flour. if a recipe calls for AP, use AP. If a recipe calls for Self-rising, use Self-rising.

According to Hints from Heloise you can turn AP flour into SR flour by doing the following

1 cup of AP flour minus 2 tablespoons
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/8 tsp of salt.
